In 2019, she enrolled at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre to study composition in Helena Tulve’s class (she also invented a new style, nel veto, which only employs the multiphonics of wind instruments); since 2021, her instructor is Toivo Tulev. In 2022, she started collaborating with the US songwriter Ryan Adams. Inessa: “My music is very minimalistic (Steve Reich, Philipp Glass, Terry Riley). As a Tallinn-born Estonian, I naturally feel a deep connection with Arvo Pärt’s music and his tintinnabuli-style, and with the music of Erkki-Sven Tüür and Urmas Sisask.”
